Current Project:
Conversations with Witnesses of History<\/h2>\n\n\n

Eyewitness conversations open a vivid dialogue that preserves memories and paves the way for a democratic future<\/strong>.
Across generations, these exchanges offer valuable insights\u2014sharing experiences, perspectives, and reflections on the relevance of history for our present day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eyewitnesses such as Helmuth Caspar von Moltke and Sabine Reichwein offer personal insights into the resistance against National Socialism.
Their stories vividly illustrate how family histories and historical events are deeply intertwined. These conversations create space for intergenerational dialogue, foster historical awareness, and strengthen a sense of responsibility in future generations<\/strong>. They encourage people to actively engage in building a democratic and peaceful society. The Freya von Moltke Foundation is committed to making these meaningful encounters possible and to facilitating powerful conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
